Pls help! i need the brief story of Sodom and Gomora.?

Answer 1

Read Genesis 18 and 19. It's not long. You can read the story quicker than it will take to read all these answers.

Answer 2

In Genesis 19, the final episode in the story of Sodom is described as the angels visit Lot to warn him to flee:

But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men [angels] which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them. (KJV)
Lot refused to give the angels staying in his house to the men of Sodom and instead offered them his two daughters. The men refused to accept this compromise, and Lot was only saved from assault by the angels. Lot and his family were then instructed to leave the city, and Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed with fire and brimstone by God.

Answer 3

Both cities were very free sexually . God decided to destroy the cities because of this. Lot and his family were the only ones found to be good. Lot thought there were other good people there and was given a chance to find 30 others...if he could the cities would be saved if not destroyed. He couldn't find 30,was given the chance to find 20 then 10 and was unsucessful. they left the cities and they were destroyed by fire. When they were leaving they were told not to look back...his wife did and was turned into salt.

Answer 4

God informed Abraham that the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha were inhabited by sinners and that he would destroy them.
Abraham pleaded, saying: if there are 50 righteous one, would you save the cities?
God said: for 50 righteous, I would.
Abraham proceeded to haggle God down to 10 righteous and sent Angels into the city to find out if there were righteous people in it.
They found lodging with Abraham's nephew Lot who lived there with his family.
The rest of the city wanted to rape the Angels, but Lot took them into his house for the night.
The next day, they all (Lot, his wife and two daughters), fled from the city.
They were warned not to look around but keep going.
Fire rained down on the cities and destroyed them.
Lot's wife looked back and turned into a pillar of salt.

Answer 5

Sodom and Gomorrah were evil cities in the eyes of God. There was only one family who were worth saving and that was Lot's family. They were told to leave and not look back and they did. Lot's wife looked back as the cities were being destroyed and she turned to a pillar of salt.

Answer 6

People went as far away from GOD as possible. All sorts of sexual sin ect ect. GOD decided to wipe out Sodom and Gomorrah but Abraham prayed and convinced GOD to spare Lot because he was righteous. So GOD sent two Angels to go tell Lot to get out. The people wanted to rape the angels. Lot got his warning and they left. GOD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. That's the short version.

Answer 7

Sodom and Gomora were cities that practiced sodomy and other homosexual act, so god sent an angel and wiped out both of the cities, and thats were sodomy got its name.

Answer 8

Easy
God wanted to destroy an entire city, men, women, and children because apparently every single one of them, even the babies in the womb, were evil.

So he sent fireballs from the sky to slaughter every single human there.

"In Genesis 18, God informs Abraham that He plans to destroy the city of Sodom because of its gross immorality. Abraham pleads with God not to destroy Sodom, and God agrees that He would not destroy the city if there were 50 righteous people in it, then 45, then 30, then 20, or even 10 righteous people. The Lord's two angels only found one righteous person living in Sodom, Abraham's nephew Lot. Consequently, God follows through with His plans to destroy the city"

Answer 9

The plot: "Angels" come from Abraham's place, intent on destroying a city of evil people. They are invited home by Lot, the only relatively innocent man in town. But even Lot makes bad decisions, probably due to the bad influences of city living. No sooner does he serve them a meager supper than fellow townsmen knock on his door to "welcome" the visitors with abuse. Lot offers his virgin daughters to them but before he can act, the angels escort them out of town to safety, warning them not to look back. Lot's wife does so and transforms into a pillar of salt. Lot complains that the destination is too far and the angel reluctantly agrees to shelter them at the next town. Eventually, in the hills, Lot's daughters conclude that they are the only survivors of the end of the world, so they get their father drunk to get pregnant by him. Supposedly their children are the progenitors of the Edomites and Moabites, two hostile neighbors of the Israelites.

The story presents a contrast between the actions of a wise man (Abraham) and a foolish man (Lot). Abraham lives in the country. His nephew, Lot, lives in the city. Abraham provides a feast for his guests, Lot provides some flatbread. Abraham shows his hospitality by directing his wife to help with supper. Lot prepares by ordering his daughters into a street of hostile neighbors. Abraham's wife Sarah obeys and is promised a son. Lot's wife disobeys and is turned to salt. Abraham argues with God on behalf of hypothetical innocents he doesn't know. Lot argues when his journey is inconveniently long. Abraham's promised son is a miraculous gift from God in his own age. Lot's grandchildren are the product of incest.

Many people make a great deal of the behavior of the neighbors, assuming that they intended to rape the visitors, but they are minor characters, and their intentions are not specifically spelled out, other than a wish to "know" the visitors. They are clearly up to no good but the author's intention is merely to suggest the worst kind of "welcoming" behavior one could imagine. Using this story as a blanket condemnation of homosexuals is more indicative of the interpreter's intentions than the author's.

Answer 10

Homosexuality was only the last effect of their despising and leaving God. They were a city which flaunted their disobedience to God by their intellectual pride, idleness, grumblings against God all in the face of plenty.

Their attitude of satisfiying only themselves shows up in their treatment of Lot's daughters and the angels (strangers) who came to town.
